Day 3: Art and a National Park

We started early today and headed West out of Launceston to Sheffield, Tasmania...an exceptionally arty place. This town has 80 murals.  Sheffield hosts an International Mural Fest each year where 9 artists compete to each paint a mural in just one week. Over the years they have tons of murals in evidence throughout the town.

Then on to Cradle Mountain, a National Park.  To get there was as exciting a drive as I have ever been on. The roads were very narrow and we were on the left side of the road. There was beautiful scenery and fun hiking trails.  We also saw lots of wildlife.

On the way back to Launceston, we had: (1) scones; (2) a cider brewery; (3) a chocolate factory; (4) a cheese factory; and (5) a raspberry farm.  I am thinking that TUMS should probably close out my day.
